- It is so strange. - pmb Oct 20, 08:29 1

        Mystery is weird. I could kind of see how he works (mostly confidence) but he comes off as ... not entirely straight. -- nm - loosilu Oct 20, 08:32 1

- I believe so, but you can't let anyone else see it, or it is considered electioneering -- nm - The Calico Cat Coalition Oct 20, 08:26 2
  - I just want something that lists the decisions I made, so I know which candidate's name to push. - ty97 Oct 20, 08:29 1

LYC TV update: Watched Ex-List (deleted season pass), Watched Unit EP1, awesome. Pending: Fringe, Crusoe, 11th Hour, Life on Mars, Worst Enemy - kilboooo Oct 20, 08:18 25
- Crusoe was pretty good, I'll try to catch future eps -- nm - con_carne Oct 20, 08:28
- We watched 11th Hour. I'm very meh. Watched first half of My Own Worst Enemy, deleted it. Liking Life on Mars, though. -- nm - JaxSean Oct 20, 08:23 4
  - my life on mars is *terrible* video quality. I almost can't bring myself to watch. (we don't get that channel in HD.) -- nm - all the boys love mandy lane Oct 20, 08:27 1
    - It was filmed in the '70s. -- nm - Mop Oct 20, 08:33
  - I watched the first 30 minutes of My Own Worst Enemy before I walked away. There was one great sequence. - Mop Oct 20, 08:26 1
    - Yup. -- nm - JaxSean Oct 20, 08:27
- finally have tv and am catching up. Life was awesome. The Mentalist was really good too - decline Oct 20, 08:20
- I'm really liking Fringe. I don't get the hatey on this board. I especially like the new "Spot the Observer" game. -- nm - Mop Oct 20, 08:20 13
  - I like it, but don't love it. It's in Heroes category. - JaxSean Oct 20, 08:25 4
    - Ready to walk away from Heroes. It's crossed the line of what I deem to be even TV-logical. -- nm - Mop Oct 20, 08:27 2
      - It's very freeing, I highly recommend it. I broke up with it after the season premiere and haven't looked back. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Oct 20, 08:29
      - You and I are tv-hatey twins today. -- nm - JaxSean Oct 20, 08:29
    - Given those choices... - Cuzzin Todd Oct 20, 08:27
  - Can't recall disliking (ok, hating) a pilot more for a show I thought I might be interested in. - Cuzzin Todd Oct 20, 08:25
  - I liked it but it's way down on my list of things to catch up on -- nm - kilboooo Oct 20, 08:21 5
    - That's my thing too. Don't hate it, am never compelled to push play on the DVR list either. - TFox Oct 20, 08:23 4
      - heh - I've had shows like that. When there gets to be 4 or 5 backed-up episodes on the TiVo and you've watched everything else and... - Cuzzin Todd Oct 20, 08:30
      - silly silly on your IM. nm - Jovian Oct 20, 08:25 2
        
        It was never amazing. It was entertainingly ok, and then it was crap, and now I find I don't care. -- nm - TFox Oct 20, 08:32 1
        
        I'd give the first season a "highly entertaining" but you're right, it was never "amazing" TV. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Oct 20, 08:34
  - i'm diggin Fringe too. John Noble makes the show. -- nm - decline Oct 20, 08:21
- i tried to watch the first Ex-List. i felt the testosterone leaving my body by the second -- nm - chris Oct 20, 08:19 3
  - That's just the splurtage. -- nm - nubby Oct 20, 08:27 1
    - The girls were hot, but as my wife said "They could all afford to eat a few sandwiches" -- nm - kilboooo Oct 20, 08:29
  - I made it through the first ep. That was enough for me. - Cuzzin Todd Oct 20, 08:20

- Happy Happy Birthday oh Creator of the Universe! -- nm - amoxy Oct 20, 08:17
Palin on SNL was good. Credit to her for being able to poke fun at herself. Wahlberg is a poor imitation of himself. - Mop Oct 20, 08:14 14
- If McCain wins, I'm blaming Lorne Michaels. - JaxSean Oct 20, 08:27 1
  - Baldwin got to mock her directly. -- nm - Mel Profit Oct 20, 08:41
- Oh, and playing up Poehler's pregnancy is really working. -- nm - Mop Oct 20, 08:22
- ~ When I say Obama, y'all say Ayers! ~ - TFox Oct 20, 08:20
- Mostly I thought Palin just stood there while the funny happened around her. I guess she gets credit for sitting there and taking it. - pmb Oct 20, 08:18 5
  - I agree with this... - Mel Profit Oct 20, 08:40
  - "Your brother Steven is my favorite Baldwin." -- nm - loosilu Oct 20, 08:20 3
    - That was pretty much her only joke and one of only a couple of lines. -- nm - pmb Oct 20, 08:22 2
      - Of course, in that sketch...she was the 3rd best actor in it. - Will Hunting Oct 20, 08:33
      - When they said "All the mavericks in the house, put yo hands up!" her little dance was funny. - TFox Oct 20, 08:27
- He's always pretty bad when he tries to "act" IMO, never understood some of the praise he's garnered. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Oct 20, 08:17
- Baldwin was awkward but I liked it. -- nm - loosilu Oct 20, 08:15 1
  - Baldwin was the epitome of the walk-on. He showed up, read his cards, and left. A couple of good set-ups, though. -- nm - Mop Oct 20, 08:18
- By all accounts, yes. -- nm - Beryllium Oct 20, 08:14
I use Worldcat from home all the time, but it looks like my new library won't offer that :/ -- nm - ty97 Oct 20, 08:11
And now, the 4 most recent MLB expansion teams have reached the World Series, meaning the Expos/Nationals, Mariners, Rangers all still suck. -- nm - Will Hunting Oct 20, 08:07 3
- that kind of goes without saying, doesn't it? -- nm - znufrii Oct 20, 08:08
- Expos wuz robbed. -- nm - Reagen Oct 20, 08:08 1
  - That will always be my opinion. -- nm - Mop Oct 20, 08:18
Oh please let this happen, oh please let this happen, oh please let this happen...TorStar columnist Chantal Hebert suggests Liz May for Liberal Leader -- (link) - Name Withheld By Request Oct 20, 08:06

- If anyone gives you a problem over this...let me know. -- nm - Mel Profit Oct 20, 08:42
- Les Nessman getting dressed to "Hot Blooded" is still one of my favorite WKRP moments -- nm - amoxy Oct 20, 08:15 1
  - or Johnny slapping the toolbox with the bomb to Urgent as well. -- nm - Remlik Oct 20, 08:19
- my first concert ever. Cap Center 1985 whoooo! - chris Oct 20, 08:11

  - I've owned that on both cassette and CD. nm - ralph wiggum Oct 20, 08:14 2
    - I really like I Wanna Know What Love Is. Regardless, their 80s fall in quality is nothing compared to Jefferson Starship, Heart or say Stevie Wonder. -- nm - Inigo Oct 20, 08:18 1
      - Heh. Jefferson Airplane always makes me think of that hilarious SNL bit: "Songs that Ruined Everything" nmblink - ralph wiggum Oct 20, 08:25
- Also: just watching the Urgent video on YouTube and I'm pretty sure I've spotted at least 2 of the Sweathogs. nm - ralph wiggum Oct 20, 08:03
- We still like mafic too. -- nm - JaxSean Oct 20, 08:01
- Mel Profit will hurt you for that earworm. -- nm - loosilu Oct 20, 08:01 5

      - felt good in his hands. -- nm - loosilu Oct 20, 08:14
    - no...cause he Knows What Love Is. -- nm - Remlik Oct 20, 08:11 1
      - I want Mel to show me. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Oct 20, 08:13

hmm, I never really got into fable 1, is fable2 going to be worth it? -- nm - truman Oct 20, 08:00 2
- reviews are starting to come in, all 8.0's or higher. But I am saving my cash for Fallout 3... - Jovian Oct 20, 08:18
- *twitch* -- nm - znufrii Oct 20, 08:02

Admission: I want to see Changeling -- nm - ty97 Oct 20, 07:37 10
- me to. I hope it does well for JMS who wrote the screenplay. That can only mean World War Z gets closer to be made with Jolie's Hubbie. -- nm - Remlik Oct 20, 07:56 2
  - Billy Bob? Johnny Lee? -- nm - loosilu Oct 20, 08:11 1
    - oh yeah...Pitt isn't married to her. But his production company optioned it and hired JMS to write it. -- nm - Remlik Oct 20, 08:12
- There are a lot better movies out there... -- nm - secretslacker Oct 20, 07:47

    - i hope so.. otherwise she looks rather frail. -- nm - colin Oct 20, 07:52
    - Pippy looks pretty rough in this post. -- nm - ty97 Oct 20, 07:52 2
      - I am pretty rough - Epiphany Oct 20, 07:57 1
        
        nice. :) -- nm - loosilu Oct 20, 08:01
I really really wish he hadn't been last night, but honestly, David Price was a buzzsaw to close that game. - TFox Oct 20, 07:36 2

        can you just come here and follow me to class, reading aloud? that'd be better. thanks. -- nm - all the boys love mandy lane Oct 20, 08:09 4
        
        And maybe I could put on a little "Managing With Power" puppet show between classes to illustrate important points? - Cuzzin Todd Oct 20, 08:12 3
        
        This made me laugh longtime. -- nm - Amy Oct 20, 08:21

REB2: and activist judges, that actually is how I decided some of my judge votes. - ty97 Oct 20, 07:30 14
- I decide my judge votes by whatever third party slate is available. - znufrii Oct 20, 07:33 13
  - Check with the bar association for recommendations. - pmb Oct 20, 08:22 1
    - as if anyone other than the democratic slate would ever get elected in Brooklyn. :) - znufrii Oct 20, 08:28
  - Our judges aren't nominated. We vote individually in each judge race. - ty97 Oct 20, 07:36 10
    - the concept of elected judges is so foreign to me. -- nm - Reagen Oct 20, 07:42 9
      - we don't elect them in Massachusetts. -- nm - loosilu Oct 20, 08:02
      - Yeah, it's odd. But then, we elect the country tax assessor-collector. - ty97 Oct 20, 07:44
      - I find elected sheriff baffling too. -- nm - mafic Oct 20, 07:43 6
